NPR hailed “Heartlines,” which Broods co-wrote with fellow New Zealanders Lorde and Joel Little,as “a bubbly, revelatory dance track…soon to be a summer anthem.”Pigeons & Planes observed, “‘Heartlines’ works wonders with Georgia Nott’s crisp voice and Caleb Nott’s well-constructed production.” MTV called it “an instantly satisfying song to obsess over” and Idolator praised its “bright, cinematic flair.” The album also includes “Freak of Nature,” a darkly personal ballad about embracing and overcoming your own personal demons, which features Tove Lo on vocals.
